Meet Amy
My journey to becoming a dog trainer began in 2008 with my first self-trained standard chocolate poodle Pongo. He taught me unconditional love, patience, and perseverance. At that point, I knew working with dogs would be my lifelong career.
My Approach
With over 15 years of experience, I have developed an all-positive training style that is proactive, intentional, and kind. My technique involves using positive reinforcement and capturing behaviors for the best possible outcome, which places the responsibility on the dog and helps them gain confidence in different environments. To achieve this, I emphasize the importance of controlling the environment rather than the dog. I also teach you to read your dog's body language to understand how they learn, which fosters trust, cooperation, and better behavior. My goal is to customize your training program according to your dog's needs and unique situation.
Change the Course of your Dog's Life
We all want our dogs to be well-behaved and fulfilled in every way. Changing behavior is possible when we give our dogs clear and positive guidance. No matter how difficult your current situation, there are things to improve and alleviate behavior, such as incessant barking, separation anxiety, pulling on the leash, jumping up, poor recall, not listening, anxiety, and biting.
"My husband and I are in our third generation of Shetland Sheep dogs that we have steered to a better dog and family life with help from Amy and her all positive training techniques.
I would highly recommend her, and so would our current eight month old pup who cries when she leaves!"
